Seed Xtreme once again is the location for the main G.R.O. Food Plot Research and Educational Blocks. We are year four on this high viability and public access property. It is located on Hwy 16-60, Watertown WI. 2026 will have some incredible research unlike anything ever seen in the wildlife industry. It is 1 of 7 other G.R.O. Research Properties.

Congrats to Palmer Milligan on this really nice Florida buck. His dad is Travis Mckinney who plants and manages many properties from Florida up along the east coast. G.R.O. works with many clients in the deep south. Congrats guys!

This is a photo from 10 years ago at the Columbus WI research property. There was small side by side plantings of Sunn H**p next to traditional Forage Sorghum. We do sell sunn h**p online. It can be a great soil builder and companion to our fortress blend or in areas where you have mainly grass weeds, it allows you to have screening and still spray clethodim or other grass killers to control weeds without killing off your screening.

A little show and tell. What we sell compared to what the industry sells. We spend $4000 more per ton on some of our seeds because yield, attraction and nutrition is important to us. Does it matter to you?
